There would be a bootstrapping problem involved if such a transition would happen as the macros needed to define the functions and macros used by the library need to be defined before the library is able to define other macros. The problem is in theory solvable: use the current versions as bootstrapping versions then redefine them once library is usable. However, this solution would involve code duplication which is not desirable. One could also give up the ability to bootstrap the language, but IMO that would be worse than the code duplication.
